Scène Loto-Québec - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

« Kobo Town continue de redéfinir la musique Calypso et de repousser les limites du son caribéen » (McLeod Gazette, 2022). Kobo Town, c’est le quartier de Port-d’Espagne, la capitale de Trinité-et-Tobago, d’où a émergé le Calypso à la fin du 19e siècle, influencé par les rythmes africains et les musiques européennes. Profondément enracinée dans ce folklore carnavalesque traditionnel, la musique du groupe, fondé en 2005 et nominé aux Junos et aux Polaris (et dont des morceaux ont été repris par Carlos Santana et Calypso Rose), n’en est pas moins ultra moderne : sombre et joyeuse, poétique et dansante, avec des textes incisifs et des modulations Ska, Dancehall, Dub, Zouk et Hip-hop soutenues par des cuivres écrasants, comme en témoigne son dernier album Carnival of the Ghosts (2022).

“Kobo Town continues to redefine Calypso music and push the boundaries of the Caribbean sound” (McLeod Gazette, 2022). Kobo Town is the district of Port-of-Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, where Calypso emerged in the late 19th century, influenced by African rhythms and European music. Deeply rooted in this traditional carnival folklore, the music of the band, founded in 2005 and nominated for Junos and Polaris (and whose tracks have been covered by Carlos Santana and Calypso Rose), is nonetheless ultra-modern: dark and joyful, poetic and danceable, with incisive lyrics and Ska, Dancehall, Dub, Zouk and Hip-hop modulations underpinned by overwhelming brass, as evidenced by their latest album Carnival of the Ghosts (2022).
